While it may be a bit awkward to discuss among real friends, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that special bond most of us share between our best friends. Turn on the TV these days, and you'll see plenty of guy love out there. Keep reading to review a few of our favorite bromances in TV history.

Lenny and Carl are so similar, Homer has been known to give himself crib notes by writing "Lenny = White, Carl = Black" on his hand. While there is the occasional hint that the two are actually romantically involved, it's probably fair to say that the two are just really, really good friends. I mean, they did double-date each other's sisters, after all.

If you're heading on a journey to "boldly go where no man has gone before," well then you better bring a few bros who have got your back. Though Captain Kirk and Spock couldn't have been more different (one highly logical, the other incredibly impulsive), the two shared a common respect that budded into an extremely deep friendship.

Are these two quirky dudes actually friends in real life? Myth confirmed! These two special effects wizards have been pallin' around on the Discovery Channel for over a decade. There friendship has endured dozens of explosions, more than a few heated arguments, and even the occasional loss of their other best friend – Buster.

Here's another odd couple that proves opposites often attract. Best friends since childhood, Shawn is the risk-taking type, while Gus prefers to play things a little more reserved. Despite this personality difference, you couldn't tear these two apart if your life depended on it.

The long-held belief that robots can't experience love is proven wrong with the relationship between Bender and Fry. Though Bender is a foul-mouthed, drunken party-bot, it's clear he has a soft spot for Fry. And as for Fry, well, he'd be happy to share his Bachelor Chow with his old buddy if ever it was necessary.

It's a good thing Tim Hiedecker and Eric Wareheim met in college - because these two weirdos are clearly soul mates. There demented hilarity has resulted in a number of comedic gems over the years, and despite the long hours of work they seem poised to continue their friendship long into the future.

These two "Friends" were a match made in heaven. Seriously, you've got to really love your friend to put up with him attempting to eat everything in fridge. Or, putting on every article of clothing you own because it's the exact opposite of hiding a pair of his underwear. Even when Chandler got married and moved in with Monica, these two bros remained close as hell.

Remember when George ended up dating a girl that looked and acted a heck of a lot like Jerry? Yeah, well that pretty much sums up the fact that these two guys are perfect for each other. While both are fairly callous to the outside world, there's something about discussing the minutae of daily life that made them completely fall in guy love with each other.

The two littlest members of the Griffin family couldn't be more different, but that doesn't stop them from getting along. While they've had their fair share of arguments ("Where's my money, man?!"), the two have also gone on epic adventures to the North Pole and WWII Germany. And while there's always plenty of insults coming from both sides of the table, what man friendship would be complete without a little razzing?

Band manager Murray once made a friend chart to show Bret and Jemaine where they stood as friends. While the duo may have just been "work mates" with Murray, the friendship between Bret and Jemaine would have been off the charts. They live together, work together and sometimes even date the same woman… it doesn't get more bro-tastic than that.

With affectionate pet names like "brown bear" and "vanilla bear," J.D. and Turk teeter awfully close to the edge of a full-fledged romantic relationship without actually straying from the straight and narrow path. And no matter how silly one of the guy's ideas is ("I'm the tallest doctor in the world!"), the other one is there to go along with it no matter what.

At the moment, Troy and Abed are the bromance kings of current television. The two may be a part of a larger study group, but it's clear that these two will be hanging out long after college. The closing bromance segments of each episode that feature the two have become one of the funniest parts of an exceptionally funny sitcom. Whatever comes their way, one thing is clear: these two will protect their friendship at all costs.

I want more like this!

And lucky #13, Rob and Big! You knew it's a true bromance right from the get-go since the show's theme song was "Best Friend" by Harry Nilsson.

House & Wilson. I'm actually surprised that one isn't on here. Especially since there was an entire article written about it in TV Guide. ([tinyurl.com])

If you're going to criticize anything, slam the misleading headline. The first paragraph clearly states that the list is "a few of our favorite bromances in TV history." If the author didn't watch L&S, Cheers, Honeymooners…how could they be his favorites?

Sam & Woody and Larry and Balki were in no way Bromances. Norm and Cliff were more of a bromance than Sam and Woody.

By tossing the word "retard" in there as an insult you just showed how stupid some people can be.

Worst list ever?

No good sir I believe that list would undoubtedly be the list of summer camp/high school boyhood chums you homosexually experimented with, I dare say. Or the list of reasons I don't headbutt you in the throat. I'm giving you a pass. You only get one. Everybody only gets one.

*vanishes in cloud of confetti and smoke*

TheFlintSkinny

So you are saying that I've experimented with 3 dudes, two of which were dead at the time; 6 animated characters, one of which was a primate, and a plot of land? Seems far fetched. I think some of the confetti from your David Blaine exit may have gotten stuck in your throat because your brain does not seem to be getting sufficient oxygen.

Mearl86

Oh I forgot? Are you a scientifiphysicist now? Some kind of learned doctor that knows about whether or not sexual intercourse with a mystical island or animated primate is possible? Unless you've got documentation to back that claim up sir, then your point is moot. Likewise, I'm the trained magician here, not you so leave to the magic to me.

I think for high schoolers it's just considered having a best friend. To me the key element to a bromance is that they are a little too old to always be with another man.

And don't then claim the college years, because we all know no one watched those.

Fun fact, Jamie and Adam are not actually friends in real life. They trust each other and work together but they don't hang out. I believe they said this at a Comic-Con panel.

This is the worst list. Lenny and Carl, number 12, are you joking me? Nobody even watches the show psych, for numerous reasons but mainly that it's not a good show. Troy and Abed are number 1, what are you 15 or something? That shows only been on 2 full seasons and halfway through a 3rd. Boo this list! It's garbage.

JD's ultimate declaration of love to Elliot: "I love you more than Turk". Enough said, really.

This list is a joke, right? To put anything Community on this list shows that the author is 12 and had to Google The Simpsons. Worst. List. Ever.

07.10.11 at 4:17 pm

Have you ever thought about adding a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is important and all. But just imagine if you added some great visuals or video clips to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with images and videos, this blog could undeniably be one of the greatest in its field. Terrific blog!
